Deconstructing a full english breakfast in Dreams PS4

Though this would be an interesting share.
I'd initially assumed these were just premade assets put together.
Shows what you can do if you're resourceful!

That's craaaazy, I wonder how they actually pull it off, does anybody have any idea? Some of these scenes look incredibly high poly if they really keep all that geometry hidden in there.

The stuff some of the people in early access have made is incredible, some are actually trying to remake popular games:
FF7 remake: https://www.polygon.com/ps4/2019/7/20/20702105/final-fantasy-7-remake-in-dreams-ps4-download-video
Dead space: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BujZj-zuuJo
Metal gear solid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WoPvjCtfXnw

It still looks a bit basic gameplay wise, I wonder how far you can take it and what you can actually 'code' yourself, could be an awesome tool for prototyping games quickly.

I imagine they do something similar to what Zbrush does behind the scenes and have live models be the only ones that are currently interacted with and then those little spheres are heavily culled on the interiors when they blend together. Cool stuff but performance wise I couldn't use that thing. Dropping to powerpoint frames when moving one of those spheres is painful to work with.
